Grief and Loss Counseling in Rosedale, CA.

Jesus said that we would have trouble in this world. But He also said for us to take heart, because He has overcome the world (John 16:33). It's not easy to find such heart in the midst of grief, but purpose can be found in our suffering, and God promises to bring good out of bad situations (Romans 8:28). If you are grieving, contact KCM for guidance and support.

Loss occurs in our lives in many forms. We struggle with unsolicited changes in our lives as well as changes that are more or less expected parts of our life's journey. Some are easier to adapt to, yet some are quite difficult. I work with clients who have lost loved ones, lost jobs, homes, health, beloved pets, many different things that have had special meaning in their lives. Not all grief is as devastating as some, but all grief is valid and worthy of respect. I provide a shoulder to lean on, an ear to listen, and a desire to help as my clients process grief and look for the next step in their lives.

When you lose something or someone important or close to you, it may be difficult to make sense of life or to feel that others can relate to or understand what you are going through. If you need someone to talk to about what happened, I am here for you. I understand that sadness is sometimes something that shouldn't be fixed, but embraced. I will come alongside you, listen to you, and support you in the journey of making sense of what has happened to you. Grief and Loss is a painful time of life, but its one that every human being goes through. You are not alone. One strategy I use to help my Grief/Loss clients is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) where I help you explore unhelpful thoughts

At My True Temperament Christian Counseling, LLC, we help our client's through each of the five stages of grief by helping them find comfort in God's word and processing his/her emotions in healthy ways. With loving support, we journey with the client through denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. At MTT, we are mindful that everyone processes grief and loss differently and on different timetables.

The experience of grief and loss, while expected at various life stages, can result in physical pain, and the emergence of symptoms that lead to experiencing a slow downward spiral in overall wellbeing, and perhaps desire to withdrawal from personal and professional commitments. Many clients seek compassionate and sensitive guidance to navigate through the ups and downs of any number of losses, ranging from diminishing health, to ending a relationship, or other life transition. Together, clients and I develop a transformative plan to stabilize, heal, gain insight and to enhance their proficiency to improve the strength needed to reconstitute their skills and hopes for today and the future.
